Although Sir Balin is a valiant knight who always does his best, he is well aware of the childhood prophecy stipulating that nothing will go right for him, in this fourth book in Gerald Morris's Knights' Tales series for readers and listeners 4 to 8. Whether he's battling an invisible knight or overthrowing kingdoms, Sir Balin's bad luck is right behind him. Can he prevail in his quest, and perhaps even change his destiny? The brush and ink drawings of Aaron Renier add additional humor and pathos to this Arthurian legend.
